The July 20th meeting of the Peninsula Users Group will
be given over to a swap meet to which seabers and foreer
geabers of all three Bay Area Timex/Sinclair Users Groups
will be invited.

Following a suggestion by Russ English and other seabers
of EBZUG, the Peninsula Group discussed and agreed to the
proposal at its May seeting. It was also agreed that the June
and July issues of TIMELINEZ would go to an expanded sailing
list that would include former members of ail three groups
who aay have T/S items they wish to dispose of.

Be sure and reaind anyone who sight be interested of
this event. It will get under way at 1:00 P.M., duly 20th in
the Sierra Room at Peninsula Hospital in Burlingame (see sap
elsewhere in this issue).

Also at the May PUG aeeting:

Jack Dohany has an AERCO CPM terainal connected to Ay
2068 for demonstration purposes. He was unable to bring i
to the aeeting, but would be happy to talk with anybody about
it or show it to those who care to drop by his house. Call
for an appointaent.

Rex Lundgren, who has been doing 1000 and 2068 repairs
for Sunset Electronics, reports that acst of the probleas he
is seeing are caused by careless attacheent and removal of
peripherals. Rex reminds everyone to be sure all power is off
before removing or attaching peripherals. Particular care
should be taken with those devices which use a blob of solder
as a locating key for the edge-connector. The solder is a
conducter and is also very soft and so is easily deformed or
displaced, which may cause the two connectors to sis-sate
(Imagine the trouble THAT can cause‘).

1 showed some pictures that had been downloaded fros
CompuServe in the Run-Length-Encoded format and then been
decoded and printed by ay GL computer. See ay article
elsewhere in this issue. |

George Nockridge received a letter from attorneys for a
company aarketing a software line called ‘TINE LINE.’ The
letter asks us to cease and desist infringing on their trade
mark with our nase ’TIMELINEZ.’

Pat Morrissey has found an attorney for us who is
handling the case ‘pro bono’ (free), and who says we are
probably safe on grounds of prior use. If we wanted to he
nasty we eight even collect royalties from THEM’

See you at the next PUG meeting, Sunday June ® 15.

USING TIME ¢(*>) DOING TIME
or TIME WELL SPENT

by Rita A. Toth

In July of 1982, George Mockridge, President of the Peninsula
User Group (PUG), responded to a letter he received from Robert
Rhodes, the first prisoner in the Nevada State Prison to be
granted permission to buy a computer. Robert had purchased a
Sinclair ZX-81 which included an issue of SYNTAX newsletter in
which he found George’s address.

In a stream of on-going letters, Robert told how his interest in
computers developed when he realized his propensity for learning
programming while taking correspondence courses in the subject.
Since he was sharing the ZX-81 and his limited knowledge with
other interested prisoners, he realized that they needed to cor-
respond with someone who could provide support and answer ques-
tions. Consequently, since July 1982, George and PUG have sent
much material dealing with specific questions from the prisoners
as well as general information about computers, printers, tapes
and programming.

In November of 1982, Robert transferred to the Southern Desert

Correctional Center (SDCC) in Indian Springs, Nevada. At SDCC,
he continued his studies in computers and was again able to in-
terest some of the other prisoners to learn programming.

In June of 1985, the National Education Corporation donated a
Computer Literacy Programming Course to SDCC. This course con~
sists of a TS-1500, a recorder and eleven course books in BASIC
programming. Needless to say, many of the prisoners have signed
up because they realize that the equipment allows them a unique
opportunity to learn about programming and computers.

Having learned programming on T/S equipment, the immates were
able to transfer their knowledge to a KAYPRO II. (This larger
computer was donated to SDCC from a source other than PUG in the
latter part of 1985.) Using the KAYPRO II, they were able to
computerize the Parole and Probation Office in which they worked
and they told us that their program will eventually be used in
Data Recording Keeping Offices throughout the State of Nevada.

In January of 1986, George Mockridge asked me to assume the
duties of liaison with this activity.

The following are a few excerpts from a recent letter that PUG
received trom one of the prisoners. I’d like to share his
thoughts and information with you:

"I am currently involved in teaching our "Re-Entry’”
course here at the prison (SDCC). It accommodates
about 30 to 40 professional people who come in and

IMELINE | C2

instruct inmates in various fields prior to their
release into the community. One of the courses is

a course given by a Systems Analyst for the City of
las Vegas, who has assured me that he will provide
several jobs to inmates who have medium range program-
ming abilities. He is also trying to formulate jobs
within the institution for those of us old timers who
may be around awhile. See what you guys started?!%?!
sensational stuff, to say the least."

"George has quite a reputation in the yard now. His
help and the help of the User Group is something that
gets through the grapevine pretty quick. 1 doubt very
seriously if you guys really know how deeply we really
appreciate the help you have extended.”

"You guys would laugh vourselves sick if you could see
these big old convicts hunched over one of those 1000’s
Punching in data. Its such a treat to see men using
their minds instead of their fists in here. A small
wonderful light in a very violent environment. We do
appreciate you folks so much. I doubt if you will ever
know how much. ”

Because SO many more prisoners are interested in learning about
computers and programming and because their equipment is limited,
it would be helpful if TIMELINEZ readers would send donations of
equipment, tapes, books, magazines, printers, etc.. (They are
particularly interested in obtaining a TS-2068.) Note that such

donations are tax deductible. Be sure to include a note giving
the fair market value of the donation. Send donations to;

Mr. William J. Kassel, Pre-Release Supervisor
Nevada Department of Parole and Probation
Mailroom Complex

215 E. Bonanza Street

Las Vegas, Nevada 89158 (702) 386-5150

or call:
Rita Toth, SDCC Liaison
(415) 3928-49367

I can arrange to send the items for you but you decide the fair
market value.

IMPORTANT! Because prisoners are not allowed tools, donations
must be in good working order or they will be disposed of because
the prison cannot afford to return non-working items.

All User Groups are invited to participate in this program. I
will try to keep you informed of our progress through future
TIMELINEZ articles.

“DECODING COMPUSERVE’? S&S

RUN —-LENGTH-ENCODED GRAPHIC’ &S
ON THE SINCLATR QL
by Norm Lehfeldt
KHKKKKKKKKEKHEKKKKEK HERE EK HAKKAR IER ERIK SESSA EAE

' have been intrigued by CoapuServe’s ’Run Length
Encoded’ graphics for some time. |] knew that using this
system, owners of the acst popular coaputers could view and
download pictures of participants on the Citizens Band Radio
Sisulator, pictures of the FB!’s ten-aost-wanted desperadces,
the National Weather Service’s radar weather saps and siailar
graphic delights. The new Picture Support Forum, in
particular, offers a dazzling selection of computer graphics
and digitized photographs. But until now, I had not been able
to learn enough about the encoding system tobe able to
decode the pictures with any of the Sinclair computers.

Briefly stated, run length encoding is a sethod of
translating a screen display into a string of ASCII
characters so that it aay be transmitted and displayed among
dis-similar computers. CompuServe subscribers may read a
fuller explanation of the method in the file headed
"RLEDEC. TXT’ in DL2 of the CBIS interest group on the systes.

The accompanying short program wil! allow off-line
display of the pictures cn the QL. The pictures may be
printed using a utility such as ’QDUMPS.’

Some notes cn using the progras:

The graphics files aust first be LOSged to sicrodrive
using the QCODE terainal prograg. Take care to LOG as few
extraneous characters before and after the file as possible.

Boot your QL in the Monitor gsode (Fi at the copyright
prompt). LRUN this prograa. It formats the screen so that it
should work on TY’s that don’t have too auch over-scan.

At the prompt enter the exact naae under which you have
legged the graphic file you wish to display. The cartridge
containing your graphics files aust be in sicrodrive 2. The
computer may take several ainutes to draw the picture,
depending on how auch detail it contains.

When you are through looking at the picture, pressing
any key clears the screen and prompts you for a new file

name.

Note that you can change the INK and PAPER colors by
altering line 190. Changine line 120 to ’MQDE 8’ so that you
can have more colors will work except that a difference in
the screen mapping will produce some errors in the di splayeg
picture.

For some reason, the OL sometimes returns a control code
to the data stream when accessing the sicrodrive. This
distorts all of the picture which follows. Line 230 traps
this error, but a gore elegant solution is solicited.

Let me know what you think of this and please share any
improvements you sake te it.

It looks fairly easy to write a program to decode these
pictures for the 2048. I intend to try to find tiae to do it,
but if you manage it first, please send it in for
publication.
